Sir
Sub. : Air pollution caused by burning plastic wastes in Banswada. Environmental awareness to control air pollution has been a regular feature of your prestigious newspaper. To add to your efforts I want to draw the attention of the concerned authorities about air pollution caused by burning plastic wastes in Banswada. I hope you will oblige me by publishing it. People buy and use plastic articles in a large number. These are of single use. Then, after use, they burn these. It has become a common practice. Burning of plastic is harmful for environment. It causes global warming and depletes ozone layer. And both these situations are harmful for human living conditions. Thus, people and gouts are urged to control air pollution for the present and future generations.

236 Adarsh Nagar

The Editor
The Hindustan Times
Jaipur
Sir
Sub. : For curbing crimes in the city. The city-dwellers are having a tough time these days. Recently, Jaipur, hitherto a peaceful city, has achieved the dubious distinction of being a crime city. There is hardly any crime from chain-snatching to day-light robbery which does not occur in the city. Since Jaipur was linked to the broadgauge of the railway, crimes have increased at a rapid pace. Criminals escape easily after committing a crime. The common man seems to have been left to the mercy of criminal elements. A more responsible police force and cooperative public can jointly bring the problem under control.
Thanking you

Sir
Sub. : Frequent breakdown of the water supply in Mansarovar (Jaipur). I want to bring to the kind notice of the authorities through your prestigious newspaper, about the irregular water supply of Mansarovar colony. Sometimes, the supply of water is late and the children have to go to school without taking a bath. Sometimes the water supplied is unfit for drinking and small larvae can be seen swimming in it. This causes a great trouble to the people. We hope the concerned authorities will look into the matter and take remedial steps.
Thanking you

Sir .
Sub. : Pollution caused by smokers. Despite a law against smoking in public places, one can see people smoking in buses, trains, hospitals, parks and at other places of public utility.

You are P.C. Agarwal. Write a letter to the editor of a newspaper on the necessity of a public park in your town.
Answer:
Examination Hall
Jaipur

The Editor
The Times of India Jaipur
Sir
Sub. : Necessity of a Public Park in Sanganer. I want to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to the need of the public parks in our cities and towns in general and my town (Sanganer) in particular. The houses are spreading only vertically with storeys after storeys climbing on top of each other, thus stopping completely the circulation of air between and around buildings.

In such conditions, public parks are indispensable. They provide open air spaces to the residents and playgrounds to the children.In fact, they function as lungs to the suffocated residential areas of our towns. Sanganer is one such town. It is an industrial town with multistoreyed buildings. There are hardly any open spaces between the buildings. The children have neither place to play nor the old men to relax. A big public park is just the right thing that the people of this town need. I request the concerned authorities to develop a public park in the town.
With thanks
Yours faithfully

Sir …
Sub. : Noise pollution at Jawahar Nagar, Jaipur. I am a resident of Jawahar Nagar, Jaipur. As this colony is situated on a national highway, it suffers from noise pollution in a big way. Thousands of trucks and other heavy vehicles pass on the nearby road with great noise of horns and engines. Sometimes, it becomes difficult to go to sleep. The students are the hardest hit.
They fail of colony. to concentrate on their studies at night. The problem of noise is further aggravated by the loudspeakers that blare out ‘bhajans’ from the temples of colony. I may make a few suggestions. The national highway should be shifted away from the colony. The truck-drivers should be instructed not to use horns at night. The defaulters must suitably be punished. A ban must be imposed on the use of microphones at night and the culprits be brought to book.
With thanks

III. E-MAIL Electronic-Mail]

[To the members of the family, friends, relatives, govt. officials, editors of a newspaper/magazine/news channel, teachers, headmaster, principal etc.]

E-mail से आशय
E-mail का पूरा रूप है Electronic-mail. वर्तमान वैज्ञानिक युग में ई-मेल शीघ्र संदेश भेजने व प्राप्त करने का आधुनिकतम तरीका है। ई-मेल दिन-प्रतिदिन लोकप्रिय होता जा रहा है। E-mail से लाभ
इस तरीके से संदेश भेजने व प्राप्त करने के अनेक लाभ हैं
1. समय की बचत-ई-मेल द्वारा संदेश भेजने में 3-4 सेकंड लगते हैं । इसकी गति बहुत ही तेज होती है।
2. सस्ता साधन-ई-मेल द्वारा संदेश भेजने में बहुत ही कम व्यय होता है।
3. कई चीज भेज सकते हैं-ई-मेल द्वारा लिखित संदेश तो भेज ही सकते हैं, किन्तु साथ ही सभी प्रकार के ग्रीटिंग-कार्ड, रिकार्ड की गई अपनी आवाज अथवा संगीत (Music) आदि भी सरलता से भेज सकते हैं।
4. विस्तृत क्षेत्र-ई-मेल द्वारा देश व विदेश में कहीं भी अपना लिखित संदेश आदि भेज सकते हैं। संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका, इंग्लैण्ड, जर्मनी, फ्रांस, जापान आदि किसी भी देश में अपना संदेश सरलता तथा शीघ्रता से कम व्यय में भेजा जा सकता है।

ई-मेल के आवश्यक तत्त्व
1. आपके कम्प्यूटर पर आवश्यक सॉफ्टवेयर (Software) होना अनिवार्य है।
2. जो व्यक्ति ई-मेल से संदेश आदि भेजना चाहता है, उसका ई-मेल पता (address) अथवा ईमेल खाता (account) होना चाहिए।
3. आपके पास उस व्यक्ति का ई-मेल पता अथवा खाता अवश्य ही होना चाहिए जिसे आप ई-मेल द्वारा संदेश भेजना चाहते हैं।

ई-मेल पते का प्रारूप
1. ई-मेल के पते में गाँव, नगर और देश का नाम लिखा हुआ नहीं होता है।
2. ई-मेल के निम्नलिखित पते का ध्यान से अध्ययन करें

sarfaraz@yahoo.com
उपर्युक्त पते का विश्लेषण ध्यान से समझें —
sarfaraz = ई-मेल सेवा के उपयोग करने वाले व्यक्ति का नाम।
@ = ई-मेल में यह एक चिह्न है। इसका उच्चारण :at’ है।
yahoo = ई-मेल सेवा प्रदान करने वाले का नाम है।
. = इसका उच्चारण ‘dot’ (डॉट) है।
com = संगठन की प्रकृति का द्योतक है। यह commerce का संक्षिप्त रूप है।
अतः उपर्युक्त पते को इस प्रकार बोला जायेगा —

‘Sarfaraz at yahoo dot com’

‘ई-मेल पते के कुछ अन्य उदाहरण —
hk@sofact.yahoo.com
hk@sofact.hotmail.com
यह महत्त्वपूर्ण है कि एक ई-मेल का पता (address) जिस व्यक्ति का है, कोई दूसरा व्यक्ति वही ई-मेल पता नहीं बना सकता है। Software के दो भाग

Software के दो भाग होते हैं —

1. IN BOX : इन-बॉक्स एक सेक्शन है जिसमें क्लिक (click) करने पर आपको बाहर से आये हुए सभी संदेश क्रमशः दिखाई पड़ते हैं जिन्हें आप पढ़ सकते हैं।

2. COMPOSE : यदि आपको किसी व्यक्ति को ई-मेल से संदेश भेजना है तो कम्पोज को क्लिक कर दें, इससे स्क्रीन पर कम्पोज बॉक्स खुल जावेगा। इसमें आप अपना संदेश टाइप कर दें। अब SEND बटन दबा देने से आपका संदेश उसके पते पर चला जावेगा। |

ई – मेल संदेश को लिखने का प्रारूप

ई-मेल संदेश को लिखना

ई-मेल द्वारा संदेश भेजने के लिए उपर्युक्त प्रारूप के प्रत्येक कॉलम में प्रविष्टि करना आवश्यक है। इनको भरने की विधि का स्पष्टीकरण नीचे दिया गया है

To : जिस व्यक्ति को संदेश भेजना है उस व्यक्ति का ई-मेल पता लिखना होता है।

CC : इसका अर्थ है-कार्बन कॉपी। यदि आप उस ही संदेश को अन्य किसी व्यक्ति को भी भेजना चाहते हैं तो CC कॉलम में उस व्यक्ति का भी ई-मेल पता लिख दिया जाता है। इसके फलस्वरूप उस दूसरे व्यक्ति को भी उस संदेश की कार्बन कॉपी मिल जायेगी।

bcc : यदि दो से अधिक व्यक्तियों (जैसे 20 अथवा 50 व्यक्तियों) को वही संदेश भेजना हो तो

bcc कॉलम में उन व्यक्तियों के

E-mail पते लिख दिए जाते हैं।

Subject : इस कॉलम में संदेश का विषय (Subject) लिख देना चाहिए। किन्तु ध्यान रहे यह एक पंक्ति से अधिक नहीं होना चाहिए।

Body : इस कॉलम में संदेश अथवा पत्र लिखा जाता है। अदृश्य कॉलम : इसमें दिनांक तथा प्रेषक के नाम व पते के कॉलम स्पष्ट दिखाई नहीं देते हैं किन्तु ये कॉलम, स्वयं कम्प्यूटर प्रदान कर देते हैं।
